Qingdao in July
A wet month. Beaches open and start to fill up, and the Qingdao International Beer Festival has opened in mid-July in recent years. Humidity climbs, so bring an umbrella and thin short sleeves.
It was a hot month: 28°C by day and 23°C after dark. With just 5°C between afternoon and night, the evening felt like a continuation of the day. With about 8 rain days, showers were an occasional nuisance rather than the rule. A visitor in 2025 met 2 rain days; one in 2024 met 14. The average of 8 hid that gap.
With up to 14.6 hours of daylight, dinner plans could still start in the light. About 5 days a month still climbed past 30°C, the ones where you looked for shade. Not every year was typical: 2025 ran 3.1°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 31.0°C. Wet days did not mess around: about 23 mm each, the kind of rain that drives you into a doorway.
